Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove casing from sausages and brown and crumble in a frying pan.
- Mix all ingredients (except for dough) in a bowl. If mixture seems dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Roll out the bread dough and spread the mixture evenly over it.
- Roll up the dough to enclose the filling and seal the edges.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the filling. You can substitute the sweet Italian sausages with turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option. If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add extra vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms. Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the spinach as possible to prevent a soggy bread.
Serving Suggestions
This spinach bread pairs beautifully with a side salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a comforting meal. For added flavor, serve it with a dipping sauce like marinara or a spicy mustard. You can also enjoy it as a savory breakfast option. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside My Mom'S Quick Saturday Night Supper(Coney Island Hot Dogs From Leftover Spaghetti Sauce).
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover spinach bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap individual slices in foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave slices for about 30 seconds, but this may make the bread a bit chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh spinach! Just sauté it briefly until wilted, then drain and chop it before mixing it with the other filling ingredients. Fresh spinach will give a vibrant flavor and color to the bread, but ensure to remove excess moisture.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, sprinkle a small amount of flour onto your work surface and knead it in until the dough is manageable. Avoid adding too much flour, as it can make the bread dense. Remember to keep your hands and tools floured as well to prevent sticking.
Can I freeze the spinach bread?
Absolutely! You can freeze the unbaked rolled bread or the baked bread. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing. For best results, consume within 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking or reheating.
